I think the only people down on FOOTE are the ones who had their minds made up before the season started that he would suck. Nevermind watching the games and making decisions. He's the fall guy I suppose.

Well that makes no sense in regards to me because I have been on this forum for years saying Foote is a liability versus the run and in pass coverage. I watch him with regularity and see him often being pushed back, out of position, over pursuing and giving up his responsibility. But he does make a lot of tackles. Usually 7-9 yards past the line of scrimmage.

Me personally I want a play maker who can play down hill and stop the run closer to the line of scrimmage or maybe even behind it. But that's just me.

Just do something for me, the next game keep a eye on Foote and Hampton and tell me do they deserve to be starters. I mean he couldn't even contribute on a terrible Lions team.

Actually I went back during the commerical and Foote got sealed off by an O-Lineman but he held his gap responsibilities and Clark over pursued the play. Timmons got washed out of his gap...hardly can pin this one on FOOTE (if you have a clue about football that is)

exactly what i saw as well. OK, Foote isn't the greatest ILB in the game, but he plays pretty sound football. No way the loss gets pinned on the defense or Foote.
